Well, i went but forgot about the tourney sll together, until i seen this. My 2, 14” fish wouldnt have done much, but will be back out at 6:15am. don’t forget to set clocks for time change.

Well, had a little free time, so launched out of Masters at 11, and fished til 4. im not, repeat NOT a jig kinda guy. I would rather fish a worm, shakey, wacky, or any moving bait before i fish a jig, but today i had 3 rods on the deck, with 3 different size and color jigs. I told myself i was going to fish those until i caught fish, or went home. Well, after the 3rd spot with no luck, it was time to pull rods out of the box. And pull out i did. Those 3 jig rods turned into 12 rods by the time i was done, and never got a tick one, other than a couple 17” to 19” walleye, who were eased back into the drink. this hobby is so humbling at times. Heck, i even trolled a flicker shad for 1/4 mile with no love. Guess i woke up on the wrong side of the bed. back out in the morning to fling some topwater.

Lots of 4+ weighed in.

Looks like i came across this thread a bit late, but......being a guy that wears shorts outside year round, those fall days when those little suckers are tearing my legs up, are the worse. a few weeks back i was working on a house, and was getting eaten up outside, and the homeowner asked why i was constantly itching my legs. I informed her of why, and she said they have never heard of oak mites. About 30 minutes later she came out, after reading online, and apologized, tho it wasn’t her fault. They will drive a guy crazy. It’s almost daily a few times a year for me.

Been hearing it on the radio. If you’re into crappie stuff, sounds like a good show. You can win a new boat.

New boat company in Springfield has opened, and with it they have hired some of Lews help, as well as will sell tackle.

That would be awesome. Rear seat is for when the better 1/2 wants to go. I will PM my number. You can text or call anytime.

Ummm, i might. 😳

Looking for an adjustable butt seat pole and seat. Prefer red or gray, but at this point that’s not to important. Anywhere close to Springfield. also a rear fishing seat.

Im in the same group. In that 14+ range on several over the years. All trolling.

Just put new hooks on it. It’s going to see it’s share of water time next trip. did they sell out, or change to a different blank all together?

This. This is a fair statement. 😁

Hey jol, flash from the past. 😁

Please explain.

Count me in.

Looks like a fun day. I was hoping to get out tomorrow, but decided to work. Maybe sunday.

Good going Dutch. This weather and water temps have them feeding good. We tried 3 spots sunday, and caught fish at each. Andy, hooking those whites took away from you catching that 5+ to push ya in the lead.

Welp, good to see the little rascal isn’t bored. Before and after of another night with dillos.

The better half and i left the green fish alone, and focused on the whites. Found some in the same area as last weekend, tho not as many. She was doing better than myself in the back of the boat with a chrome/blue lipless. She’s like a kid every hookset. Makes my eyes water, dang allergies. Most fish were in the front half of coves, in the 12’ range. Released all today.

Buddy, if i could, trust me i would. I have 5 outside cameras on my house, with 1 being right where it tears up the flower bed, and not a single video of it. I have gone out there all hours of the night, and nothing. between them, and the neighbors dog pissing on the decorations on the porch, im getting antsy to pop something.

Those dang armadillos have been tearing up my flower beds for a month now. Neighbor took care of 2, but they are still causing my blood to boil. Set a live trap for a week, and every night they would tear up the area around it.

This was the first trip where i could predict a cast, and know i would get a bite with them. They were on fire. I let the wind push me across the 100 yard cove, east to west and would get several, then motor back to the inlet, and start over. My time was up, or i would have stayed and hammered more. been doing pretty good on the greenies in the same area the past week. But, i still stop at the bridge piers and drop shot a few youngins for the fun of it every trip.

Dutch, they were. Caught 27 in 45 minutes on a lipless 1/2 way back in a pocket.

Had some of the same outselves tonight. Walleye and white bass.

I know that part of life all to well. Im going back for a few hours in the morning, then hope to clear some brush.
